How indie self-publishing shaped queer media: the Hello Mr. story
In this episode, Winter sits down with Ryan Fitzgibbon, the visionary behind Hello Mr., a groundbreaking print magazine that celebrated men who date men. Over its ten-issue lifespan, the incredible indie magazine became the first home for some of the most prestigious queer voices of a generation. Ryan shares his journey in the world of queer media, the challenges and triumphs of self-publishing, and insights from his newly released book called ‘A Great Gay Book: Stories of Growth, Belonging, and Other Queer Possibilities.’ This book contains a gorgeously designed collection of art, essays, short fiction, poetry, interviews, profiles, and photography from the archives of the beloved queer magazine Hello Mr. as well as new material from today’s biggest LGBTQ+ creatives. 🔗 Order ‘A Great Gay Book’: https://agreatgaybook.com/
